Advancements in photoinitiators—Opening up new applications for radiation curing

The development of new photoinitiators which provide additional value to the curing efficiency is reported. These include compounds with low migration and volatility properties avoiding the leaking of chemicals into the environment, initiators that provide a high photosensitivity to black formulations and novel photolatent bases which allow the curing of formulation hitherto not available for radiation curing. These novel photoinitiators expand the use of radiation curing technology into new applications.
